Lake Balaton Ecotwin: challenges and opportunities
Share this page:
Key Ecosystem Service: Recreation and Reed Habitat.
Main objectives of Ecotwin: Simulation of reed development as a function of wind, wave height and lake levels.
Main challenges:
鈥� Shore developments can bypass Environmental Impact Assessment.
鈥� Intense development across the shoreline is causing habitat loss.
鈥� Lake levels are close to a critical level which can affect recreation capacity and ecology.
鈥� Reed habitat needs to be balanced for its cultural value while allowing access for recreational activities.
